Italian term or phrase:El Turun, Miss Padania

Turi, name of one of the characters, has to study for exams and his friend is going out to a strip club...
She says (mockingly), ciao, Turi Yerun, and he sneers back 'Ha parlato Miss Padania. Guarda che Turi El Turan va studiare'
Can anyone help me with this, i think I'm missing smth

Explanation:As Nicky has pointed out, social and cultural differences are in play here.
For a very approximate parallel in the U.S.A., consider the perceived (and real) differences between rural southerners (and, particularly, poor people in Alabama and Mississippi) and urban northerners (especially the wealthy residents of the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City).

Almost impossible to translate!

Explanation:Maybe an explanation will help you:
In Italy we have a north-south cultural divide, that is people from the North (where 'Padania ' is located) despise people from the South (that are called 'terroni' - very offensive term for Southerners!). 'Terun' is the same as Terrone but written and pronounced in the dialect from Lombardy (northern Italian region). Both characters are probably from the South as the 'Terun' mockingly refers to the girl as Miss Padania, that is as someone who has won a beauty contest in the North.
Hope this is clear.
Ciao
